it’s easy to stick your flowers/pens/utensils/ etc in…
but jars have soooo many uses…  for some reason…i thought it was super hard to make a soap dispenser….then i realized..it’s not.

you just start by picking a bottle and soap about the same size…

and you will need the lids…

you can spray paint…i mod podged some fabric on…

then i cut a hole in the middle…(big enough for the the pump to go through but not too big)

yup…the pump from the soap bottle….

then you just pour in the soap…

and for more great ideas…..

(check out mandy’s awesome chalkboard lid ones:)

and you can use it as a pin cushion like i did here
i use it to hold my son’s toys
a lamp..
